Nikki Gleave (Bearded Dragon Breeder)
Nikki’s passion for reptiles began during her schooling years in Queensland, Australia. During her lunch hour, Nikki would practice handling wild frilled-necked lizards in the school playground. This passion for reptiles and in particular Bearded Dragons, has steadily flourished over time.

She has also worked with Eastern Long-necked Turtles (Chelodina Longicollis), Eastern Saw-shell Turtle (Wollumbinia Latisernum), Leaf-tailed Geckos (Phyllurus Platurus), Spotted Python (Antaresia Maculosa), Eastern Water Dragon (Physignathus Lesueurii Lesueurii), Pygmy Bearded Dragon (Pogona Henrylawsoni), and Central Bearded Dragons (Pogona Vitticeps).
